Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected by this issue is the function HL1MDLLoader::read_sequence_infos of the file HL1MDLLoader.cpp of the component Half-Life 1 MDL Loader. The manipulation of the argument aiString leads to out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be performed locally. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The project tagged the reported issue as bug.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Assimp's Half-Life 1 MDL Loader affects all versions up to 6.0.4, enabling a local low-privileged attacker to leak memory contents by supplying a crafted MDL file that triggers faulty bounds handling in the read_sequence_infos function of HL1MDLLoader.cpp. Impact is confined to partial confidentiality loss (C:L) with no integrity or availability consequences per the CVSS vector. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local access with low operating-system privileges is required (CVSS AV:L/PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The base CVSS 3.1 score of 3.3 (Low) accurately reflects constrained real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local attacker with standard user privileges places a crafted Half-Life 1 MDL file - constructed using the publicly available POC (https://github.com/user-attachments/files/27228962/poc.zip) - into a location processed by a target application using Assimp ≤ 6.0.4, such as a 3D editor, game asset pipeline, or conversion tool. When the application loads the file, `read_sequence_infos` reads beyond the intended buffer boundary for the `aiString` argument, potentially exposing adjacent heap or stack memory contents to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed from the available data - the project tagged the report as a bug (https://github.com/assimp/assimp/issues/6619) but no fix release is referenced in the intelligence sources. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
